Henry Ohlfs Henry (Hank) William Ohlfs, 84, of Mountain, WI passed away peacefully with family at his side Wednesday, September 19, 2012 in Oconto Falls, WI.
He was born on December 22, 1927 in Marinette, WI to the late James and Margaret (Stoneburner) Ohlfs. On October 22, 1949 Hank married Dolores Teiber in Crivitz, WI where they began their lives together.
Hank and friend, Paul Dyer, started a logging business in Crivitz which later became Ohlfs Logging Company. Hank moved the company to the Crooked Lake area in 1951, then to Mountain a year later till he and Dolly sold the business in 1977. After retiring from logging, Hank also drove coach buses for Lamers Tour and Travel till in his seventies. He loved to travel to see as much of this country as he could and was able to also visit Hawaii with his son, Bill. Hank and Dolly started raising horses in 1962, building quite a herd at their home in Mountain that the whole family enjoyed. They traveled with their family, friends and horses out west for trail rides for many years.
Hank and Dolly also owned homes in Guffey and Divide, Colorado for over 25 years enjoying the scenery of the Colorado mountains and their neighbors that became good friends. Family and friends were always welcome and visited often. Refinishing furniture became a late in life passion for Henry that all his children are blessed to have.
